TalkingParents vs. other co-parenting apps

While you have lots of options for co-parenting services, other common apps on the market today do not offer full-service solutions for shared custody. 2Houses and SupportPay: Calendar & Messages (formerly WeParent) have features for messaging and scheduling, but they don’t offer audio or video calling. Peaceful CoParenting Messenger can keep written communication documented, but it’s for messaging only.

There are many other services available besides the examples mentioned, but they all fall short of your needs and standards. Additionally, choosing TalkingParents means joining an extensive support network with the most comprehensive co-parenting tools of any shared parenting platform out there. Our parenting resources, social media channels, webinars, newsletters, and partnerships are carefully curated to give you free access to important information that can make your co-parenting journey easier to navigate.

Why we're different

All-inclusive

Our service gives you a complete solution with comprehensive features designed for co-parents by co-parents. Your interactions are organized and documented with 9 tools in a single service, streamlining communication and boosting accountability for your own peace of mind.

Cost-effective

With flexible subscription options starting at just $7 a month, you have options that can meet your needs as they change. Instead of being locked into an annual plan, you can swap plans anytime. If you want to pay for a year up-front, you can leverage an 8% discount.

On the Record

Available since 2011, Unalterable Records are the longest-standing form of co-parenting documentation on the market today. Accepted by courts in all 50 states, our user-friendly, authenticated Records can be downloaded as Electronically Certified PDFs directly within the app or ordered in print on the website, all without contacting support for assistance.
